Has Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters, who is very vocal against Israel whenever it chooses to take action against Palestinian terrorist infrastructure, refrained from any explicit criticism of Russia's invasion of Ukraine since it began two and a half weeks ago?

While Waters' stance might be unclear, Pink Floyd has issued a formal statement that it is pulling all of its albums released since 1987 off music streaming platforms in Russia and Belarus.

Albums to be removed include "The Division Bell," released in 1994, and "The Endless River," from 2014, but not 1979's iconic "The Wall."

The message, issued Friday, also said that Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour would be pulling all his solo albums from digital music providers in those two countries.

The message said that the move was intended to show solidarity "with the world in strongly condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine."

On March 1, Gilmour wrote on his personal Facebook page: Russian soldiers, stop killing your brothers. There will be no winners in this war."

Gilmour's daughter-in-law is Ukrainian. "My granddaughters want to visit and know their beautiful country. Stop before it is all destroyed."

"Putin must go," Gilmour's post concluded.
